THE papers are discussing the question,
have women souls? One paper ayers that
"the invention of soul for woman is
modern, and is not yet prevalent. This
may be called the testimony of instinct,
or of universal consciousness. Science,
however, cannot receive instinct as evil
dence Of anything" Science may hest
tate to concede soul to woman, for it
hesitates to concede God to man; but
the man who was born of woman, who
has been the recipient of her gracious
tenderness, whose pain and anguish have
been relieved by the ministering angels
whose place no man can fill, will say in
his heart: eff there be no soul in woman
there can be no God anywhere, for surely
woman, more than man, gives outward
evidence of having a SOUL" And this
much may as well be admitted now: If
women have no souls, 1t is unnecessary
for them to have any, for they are good
enough as they are. The good Lord
knew what he was doing when He Gre
ated woman.

Listen my dear, end you shall hear.
The midnight ride of Bob, the queer.
Once during lent, at eve he went,
To see his lady love intent.
The moon was bright, his heart was light,
He'd surely see his girl tonight.
He gazed o'erhead as on ne sped,
Made noise enough to wake the dead,
But sad to say he lost the way,
And scarce got back before twas day.
When to his cain next day he came,
This Mcintyre of wondrous fame,
Gasping for breath this TON Cat" saith.
To lug my grub has been my death,
I'll eat with you kind friends so true,
I'm nearly strapped" and feel so blue,
He Dragged what trades he late had made.
What money in the bank he'd laid.
Then babe adieu back home to go.
But asked the woman who washed you
know,
To lend him Just dollar or two,
So he could pay his stage fare through.
